The Hub, presented by Witness, gives human rights advocates a platform for their media.

Eyewitness footage and pictures out of Iran recently demonstrated the necessity of capturing video of conflict and human rights violations.

The Hub is the world’s first participatory media site for human rights. It’s like YouTube but with a soul and on a mission for change.

Individuals and organizations around the world are uploading their human rights stories to mobilize action to protect and promote human rights.

The Hub also showcases instructional videos and empowers users to take action using the technology within their means.

This video addresses

  • Assessing if footage is reliable
  • How to edit effectively and ethically
  • How to distribute your video to have an impact

  • Editing and Distributing Your Film ~ presented by WITNESS
